a long time. Ho desires to co-operato
with the orchardlsts throughout tho
stato and bring tho board to a high
state of efficiency.
Mr. Roberts states that ho had
conferred with California stato au
thorities regarding tuber infected po
tatoes, several cars of which had been
shipped to Oregon and condemned,
and arranged for more stringent in
spection of products. Ho was as
sured ro-operatlon both by state and
fedonrt authorities In tho war upon
pests.
At San Francisco .Mr. Uobcrta In
spected tho methods of plant uuaran-
tlno used by K. Maskew, government

Viee-1'residcnt Thomas H. Mar
shall, iu a letter to Democratic State
Chairman Hert K. llaney, urges the
voters of Oregon to re-elect Senator
(leorgc K. Chamberlain.
The vice-president, who is the pre
siding officer of the senate, warmly
ly praises Senator Chamberlain, say
ing: "No member of the body over
which I provide is harder working or
more painstaking in the discharge of
duty than is Senator Chamberlain.''
He expresses the hone that Senator
Chamberlain "is not going to he pun
ished, at least for his loyalty and de
votion to duty.'
Vice-President Marshall's indorse
ment and hope of success for Sena
tor Chamberlain follows a .iiuilnr in
dorsement made hv President WiNon
yesterday. The vice-president liad
expected to come to Oregon and
speak in behalf of Senator Chamber
lain, hut the delay in the adjournment
of congress has prevented this. Tho
vice-president's letter is as follows;
"September 20, 1014. My Dear
Mr. llaney' I hnd hoped that the con
gress would adjourn m that I could
get to Arizona, then to California
and Oregon, hut it now seems impos
sible. Aside from the delightful ex
perience of meeting ngain, n liberal
niiudid people, nntrninmelcd by prec
edent and seeking the best things, 1
hnd hoped to be able to give n few
rensous why Senator Chamberlain
should be returned to the United
States sennte.
"I hope he is not pu'ng to be pun
ished, at least for his loyalty and de
votion to duly. No member of the
body over which I preside is harder
working or more painstaking in the
discharge of duty than is Senator
Chnmbcrluin.
"He has never had the slightest
trouble with the administration and
has never differed from it except
upon the tolls (inr.-tioii, and that was
understood by the administration to
be not political in its character, the
vote upon it being affected by the in
dividual views of the senators.
''If the people of Oregon are eon
tent with the present administration
and believe that its purposes are for
the common good the- can do no bet-
tcr iu furthering those purpose than
iu iriiini ine si-iiiiiur 111 111c next
